FES Bike Video

Here you have it:

I would have had it showing it doing active cycling, but my mom isn't mechanically savvy and didn't have it on while she taped it. But you get the jist of it.

Nice going. I didn't think I was going to make it to the end of the video because of the music.

My quick take: I love Badfinger as much as the next 40-something (and it's nice to know that 20-somethings are still listening to them too) but I would much have preferred to hear you talk about what you're doing and why. The music is a distraction here. Your narrative is what matters. You have to tell the viewer what you're doing and why.

The video looks like it was shot in a cave. Better (i.e., more) lighting would have gone a long way to improving the look of this. And why go headless? It would have been nice to see the sweet-looking face attached to the FES-riding body.

well, i do see what you mean about narration, and i was going to, but i figured, eh, i'll just explain it in the about section.

as for the lack of face, my mom isn't good with the camera. also, i don't have a video recorder, i just have the video section of my digital camera...which doesn't adjust for lack of light and doesn't have zoom.

i do see what you mean and i definitely agree. although i've been having minor issues with the fetish devos (them asking for pics of body parts) i know that they know my face from my other videos. but for some reason, i felt comfort in my mom's neglect to put my face in the video. i didn't specify to her to get my face in, rather just what i was doing at the time, which was all the lower half of my body. i like the feeling of anonimity in the video, though like i said, it wasn't intentional.

Hi,

Good video thanks.

Just a quick question, did you only put electrodes on your quads and hams, or did you have some on your glutes as well?

The reason I ask is I am still (I am the king of procrastination!) building my own FES bike and currently I am planning to use 6 channels (quad,ham,glute). So was intersted to see if you can get away with just quad and ham (4 channels)?

Cheerss

John Deere Baby!

Should of had 'Chariots Of Fire' playing when your legs started moving. That would've been great.

Good vid.

Great Video, thanks for posting. I liked it, it showed the setup and what all is involved, it would be great for someone new to or thinking about FES to see this.

Your legs are looking great, isnt is amazing how they build up so much using FES? I find I have to be careful not to use mine too much as my legs get so muscle bound they get heavy and it makes transfers harder.

you definitely look like you're in great shape! No quad belly? Do you have any ab muscles? It looks like you are able to sit yourself up or were you pushing up with your arms?

Ok, yeah the music was offputting (sorry

), and my chances of using FES are slim. But I liked your video...and WOAH! I didn't know you had loads of fab videos of you talking about stuff!
I like those a lot! It's weird hearing you speak, Cali. You didn't sound how I imagined (no one ever does, though, do they?).

Anway, I just watched a few of your videos, and I'm gonna check others out tomorrow.
